在交出亮眼季度业绩后,帕兰提尔公司首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普称人工智能行业“马克思主义式”。

内容总结:
帕兰蒂尔公司首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普周一再次发出警告,称前沿人工智能实验室对企业而言过于缺乏可信度。这位以研究哲学著称、并拥有社会理论博士学位的CEO,在帕兰蒂尔季度股东信中暗示,正是这类资本家催生了马克思主义式的社会主义思潮。
卡普在致股东信中谈及公司本季度亮眼业绩时写道:“我们的业务带有马克思主义的色彩和潜台词。其他许多人,包括那些构建大型语言模型的公司,有意或无意地试图攫取所谓合作伙伴的生产资料。”
需要明确的是,人工智能实验室并未将帕兰蒂尔挤出市场,情况恰恰相反。人工智能应用的迅猛增长助力帕兰蒂尔取得了创纪录的业绩。第二季度,公司营收达19亿美元,同比增长93%,利润达11亿美元。卡普写道:“单季度利润就超过了去年同期全年的总营收。”
在与华尔街分析师的季度电话会议上,他进一步阐释了这一类比,大量使用了国防科技公司中常见的所谓“科技兄弟爱国者”式语言。(帕兰蒂尔的高层领导团队全部为男性。)他在电话会上质问:“企业是否会接受这样一种未来——你的工作帮助‘对手获胜’,而所有赢家只是一小撮生活在一小块地方的人,他们自认为因为吃素、不支持作战人员,就该拥有这个国家的全部生产资料?而我们其他人只需袖手旁观,承担这场革命的代价,而这代价正是我们在买单。”
与此形成对比的是,帕兰蒂尔向政府和企业提供模型无关的人工智能与分析软件,使组织能够掌控自身数据及其人工智能“产出”,即提示词、编排流程和上下文语境。
他说:“我们是如何为此买单的?在企业环境中,人们以实际成本签署了象征性的‘自我满足’式合同。(在人工智能语境下)你是在付费让他们把你的知识产权、专有技术和专业技能迁移到他们的模型中,以便他们构建一个不再需要你的企业或员工的竞争性业务。他们为什么这么做?实际上,他们认为自己出于道德理由,自认为高人一等,认为他们理应‘殖民’你的企业。”
尽管措辞刺耳,但他提出的核心观点正越来越多地被其他人重复,包括微软CEO萨蒂亚·纳德拉。这一观点指向了大量与Anthropic和OpenAI合作或付费的公司名单,而这些人工智能实验室同时推出了从设计工具到医疗运营、法律甚至药物研发等各种类似业务。
事实上,这些公司没有哪家是经济意义上的恶人或英雄——与其他营利性公司并无二致。人工智能发展如此迅猛,市场变化如此之快,显然容得下所有参与者,帕兰蒂尔的业绩便证明了这一点。

Palantir首席执行官亚历克斯·卡普周一再次警告称,人工智能前沿实验室对企业来说太不值得信任了。这位以研究哲学著称并获得社会理论博士学位的CEO,在Palantir的季度股东信中暗示,正是这类资本家催生了马克思主义社会主义。
“我们的业务有着马克思主义的表音和暗流,”他在致股东的信中谈及Palantir出色的季度业绩时写道。“其他人,包括许多构建大语言模型的人,有意或无意地试图攫取所谓合作伙伴的生产资料。”
需要说明的是,人工智能实验室并未将Palantir挤出市场。恰恰相反。人工智能使用的激增帮助Palantir取得了创纪录的业绩。第二季度,公司报告营收19亿美元,同比增长93%,利润11亿美元,“单季度利润超过了去年同期我们全季度的总营收,”他写道。
在与华尔街分析师的季度电话会议上,他进一步阐述了这一类比,大量使用了国防科技公司中常见的“科技兄弟爱国者”式措辞。(Palantir的高层领导全部为男性。)
他在电话会议上问道,企业是否会“买账这样一个未来”:你的工作帮助“对手获胜,而所有获胜者只是一小群住在弹丸之地的人,他们不知为何相信,因为自己吃素、不支持战争,就该拥有这个国家的全部生产资料?而我们其余的人就应该袖手旁观,承担这场革命的代价,而这代价正是我们在支付的。”
相比之下,Palantir为政府和企业提供与模型无关的人工智能和分析软件,让组织能够控制自己的数据以及人工智能的“排放物”,即提示词、编排和上下文。
“我们是怎么为这一切买单的?在企业环境中,人们注册的不过是一种象征性的自我满足……付出的是实实在在的代价,就像其他形式的自我满足一样,”他说。“你在付费换取他们把你的知识产权、你的诀窍、你的专长迁移到他们模型的权利,这样他们就能建立一项不再需要你的业务或你的员工的竞争性业务。而他们为什么要这么做?实际上,他们做这事是出于自己认为的道德理由。他们比你优越。他们配得上殖民你的企业。”
抛开刺耳的措辞不谈,他提出的核心观点正在越来越多地被其他人重复,包括微软CEO萨蒂亚·纳德拉等人。
这一理论指向了那些与Anthropic和OpenAI合作或付费的众多公司,而与此同时,这些人工智能实验室推出了从设计工具到医疗运营、法律甚至药物发现等一系列类似业务。
事实是,这些公司既不是经济上的恶人也不是英雄——与其他营利性公司并无二致。人工智能发展如此之快,市场变化如此剧烈,显然容得下所有人,Palantir的业绩证明了这一点。

Palantir CEO Alex Karp on Monday once again warned that AI frontier labs are too untrustworthy for enterprises.
The CEO, who famously studied philosophy and earned a PhD in social theory, implied in Palantir’s quarterly shareholder letter that these were the kinds of capitalists who gave rise to Marxist socialism.
“There are Marxist overtones and undertones to our business,” he wrote in a letter to shareholders about Palantir’s outstanding quarter. “Others, including many of those building large language models, intend, knowingly or otherwise, to capture the means of production of their purported partners.”
To be clear, AI labs have hardly cornered Palantir out of the market. Quite the opposite. The skyrocketing use of AI helped Palantir achieve record-breaking results. For its second quarter, the company reported $1.9 billion in revenue, up 93% over the year-ago quarter, and $1.1 billion in profit, “more profit in a single quarter than we did in total revenue in the same period the year before,” he wrote.
During the quarterly conference call with Wall Street analysts, he explained his analogy further, relying heavily on a sort of “tech bro patriot” jargon common among defense tech companies. (Palantir’s senior leadership is entirely male.)
He asked on the call if companies are going “to buy into a future” where your job helps your “adversaries win, and everybody who does win is a small, tiny group of people living in a tiny place that somehow believe because they eat vegetables and they don’t support war fighters that they deserve to have the total means of production of this country? And the rest of us should just sit back and absorb the cost of that revolution, which we’re paying for.”
Palantir, in contrast, serves model-agnostic AI and analysis software to governments and enterprises, and allows organizations to control their data as well as their AI “exhaust,” aka, their prompts, orchestration, and context.
“How are we paying for it? In the enterprise context, people sign up for token self-pleasurings… at real cost like other forms of self pleasure,” he said. “You are paying for the right for them to migrate your IP, your know-how, your expertise to their model, so that they can build a competitive business that doesn’t require your business or people. And why are they doing it? It’s actually being done for what they believe are moral reasons. They are superior to you. They deserve to colonize your enterprise.”
Jarring language aside, he is making an underlying point that is increasingly being repeated elsewhere, including from the likes of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
This theory points to the significant list of companies that partnered or paid for Anthropic and OpenAI while the AI labs launched similar businesses ranging from design tools to healthcare operations, legal, even drug discovery.
The truth is, none of these companies are economic villains or heroes — anymore than other for-profit companies are. AI is growing so quickly, the market changing so rapidly, there is clearly room for all, Palantir’s results show.
